Recently I heard a song I really liked, called 'I'm Just Me' by Charley Pride. I think my reason for liking it is largely linked to needing to search for who I am for a while and finding it, and as a result finally feeling comfortable with who I am. It was a number one it in 1971, according to Wikipedia, and I understand why based on the lyrics. Nothing more or less, not the worst or the best. It fits well with me often saying what you see is what you get. I liked finding it on Youtube after hearing it on my car radio, and one commenter said he was proud to have seen Charley in concert twice. I have seen him once, in 2012 at a casino. When it was played on the radio the D.J. did say Charley was on tour again, he still tours even though he has reached what is retirement age for many. But as I have said before, it is what they know, what else are they going to do?
I did listen to a friend's radio show this morning, and I knew the guests as well. Subjects covered were Twitter, an accidental shooting in Texas, Obama's options on the Crimea ordeal, and the search for a male body part in Great Britain.
I stayed in for a while, getting baseball cards into binders. Of the pack of 100 I just bought this weekend, just 5 were destroyed so it is good how I don't get many duplicates. Then it was on to doing laundry, and I noticed I needed another shirt replaced. So I went to J.C. Penney at Rosedale Mall in Roseville and used the gift cards sent by family for my recent birthday. I liked seeing the sales associate had them wrapped in the shopping bag while still on the hangers. This made them easier to get home as it was like picking them up from a dry cleaner. I likely would have waited if it was just one, but with two I think of needing something to wear every day at the office. I like it when I just have to do laundry every 3 weeks, so it means having 3 weeks worth of shirts. I finished the book
'Nickel and Dimed' by Barbara Ehrenreich when I got home after reading more of it while doing laundry. After watching a Simpsons episode about gangs at a theme park, and then eating at Taco Bell, I watched an episode of the Bob Newhart Show from the DVD I bought at Target this weekend. It was when Bob spoke at career day at his wife's class.
